Axel Scheffler Libri

La storia di un topo che mentre avanza nel bosco frondoso, incontra una volpe affamata, un gufo non molto saggio e un serpente viscido, e racconta loro del Gruffalò un mostro spaventoso e squamoso. Una storia spiritosa allo stesso tempo elegante e divertente, semplice nella sua esecuzione, poiché gioca abilmente sulle paure del bambino e poi mostra che anche i mostri più minacciosi non sono sempre spaventosi come sembrano.

I versi dedicati dal grande poeta Thomas Stearns Eliot a Macavity, Mister Mistofele, Brunero, Vecchio Deuteronomio e a parecchi altri gatti nacquero negli anni Trenta e furono inseriti nelle lettere che il poeta scriveva ai suoi figliocci. Furono riuniti nel 1939 in questa raccolta dal titolo "The Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats" e oggi, in occasione del 70° anniversario dalla pubblicazione, il libro, tradotto da Roberto Sanesi, è impreziosito dalle illustrazioni di Axel Scheffler, celebre in tutto il mondo per aver dato un volto al Gruffalò, protagonista di un album pubblicato in tutto il mondo.

Wander into the deep dark wood with this exquisite gift slipcase edition of the bestselling modern classics, The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child.
